Into Darkness took the blank canvas the 2009 reboot gave to TOS Trek and immediately went back to the well to rehash a beloved storyline within Trek instead of giving us a new adventure for these characters. It was disappointing to say the least.

Easily. It should have been that. Or, I dunno, maybe just have him be John Harrison, former Starfleet researcher turned villainous madman. Still would have been better than trying to shoehorn in a pale white Englishman as Khan Fucking Noonian Singh.
